The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has taken decisive action following a controversy involving the sale of complimentary IPL tickets in the black market. During a recent Apex Council meeting, it was unanimously decided that no committee members will accept complimentary passes. This measure, proposed by DDCA President Rohan Jaitley, aims to enhance transparency and integrity within the association amidst an ongoing investigation by the Delhi Police. Despite this restriction, general members will still receive two complimentary tickets along with a buffet lunch. Furthermore, the DDCA has recognized issues with team selection practices, leading to a new policy that limits squad sizes across all formats to 16 players. This decision addresses longstanding concerns about the inclusion of players who may not merit selection. Additionally, the association has decided to increase match fees for umpires and scorers by 30%, reflecting the growing popularity of domestic cricket and the need to fairly compensate those officiating matches.
